I wouldn’t put it in as strong a terms but directionally, I think we agree that Brave isn’t the strongest possible alternative to Google Chrome. I don’t think it is invalid to include it in a conversation about alternative browsers to Goo

I stopped using Brave a couple of years ago when I switched to Arc and I have since switched from Arc to Orion. I didn’t have any issues with at the time even though it was not my default; it made a nice enough fallback Chromium-based brows

by SllX 2y ago
On an HN thread a couple weeks back, the Kagi team mentioned they just started working on a Linux version of Orion. No idea what they plan to do about syncing though since right now they just use iCloud syncing, but it’s a start.

No. Firefox is still my primary work browser because all the anti-tracking stuff Orion does actually breaks some sites I depend on (well, makes them harder to use anyway), but Orion has become my main and I have lost confidence in Mozilla.

Yeah, I saw their YouTube video which was immensely annoying to watch. That’s why I was pretty pleased when I discovered Orion and I recently switched from Arc and MobileSafari to Orion as my defaults, but I’m using Arc as the Chromium brow

Possibly in Arc, although Brave also continues to support Manifest v2 so it’s possible it will continue to persist in some subset of Chromium-based browsers and as I said, it ships with the browser and is installed by default; but Orion i

Arc is a Chromium web browser that also includes uBlock Origin in the default install. Orion is a WebKit web browser from the folks at Kagi that supports both Firefox and Chromium extensions (including on iPhones and iPads) and has zero tel

This is less a pro-FreeBSD in embedded systems article and more of an anti-GPL in embedded systems piece. If that’s not what you’re here for, then saved you a click.

Yep. Government-imposed price controls and caps should actually be illegal. Like actually unconstitutional, with the requisite constitutional amendments in California (and the other States) and the US Constitution being passed. No matter wh

Ah, FAST services as referenced by the parent are an entire genre of streaming services that might have slipped under the radar for most Hacker News readers.[1] They’d be off my radar too since I’m not interested in them per se, but for Jas

Got it. Thanks! I’ll try to keep that in mind going forward.

I remember when they initially announced their plans here a while back and that actually held me back from pulling the trigger until I figured out that they updated their plans. $10/unlimited was an easy sell for me. I did consider may

I have too much respect for Kagi to want to see them overshadowed by Mozilla in any kind of partnership. In particular, I am a very recent but very happy convert to the Orion web browser which uses WebKit (not Blink, not Chromium, certainly

YouTube Shorts don’t have background play/PiP, at least not through the regular Shorts player. It is possible to get a Short pulled up through the main video player because each Short actually has a page you can access by just replacin

Depends. The Navajo Nation and Cherokee Nation both have flags to use that could theoretically be incorporated into Unicode if they didn't draw the line at National flags, but you could always draw flag representations in SVG instead.

TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, Instagram, Reddit, Wikipedia (including the Talk pages), KnowYourMeme and Urban Dictionary. Probably Discord too.

Sure. Racism never died. The problem is when you lump a bunch of people who don’t deserve it in with the actual Neo-Nazis and paint them with an extremely broad brush as all of the same kind. If you look for Nazis, you can find them, but if
